Rules:
We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best resolution or punishment if needed.

Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times.
> Pit exit - allthough there will be no mandatory pitstop in this league,pit exit lines will have to be respected! Everyone caught crossing pit exit lines with more than 2 wheels will receive 10 seconds penalty added to finish result. In last round,which is held in KY Oval also pit entry must be respected - driver have to enter pits on apron before turn 3.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection,he will not be allowed to participate.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.

Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions like pit exit line violation,too much chatting.
> 30s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in round 6) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 2 and 4 / 2 laps penalty in round 6) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.

Just like in first two seasons,this year the series will start with a rallycross round,but this time it is the Jamaican Trophy,hosted on the sunny Caribbean island near area of Fern Bay. The dusty tarmac roads mixes with even dustier gravel sections,making the track quite difficult to master,especially when the race is 40 minutes long - everyone has to make sure he's not too agressive on those hybrid tyres,otherwise they might melt. Melting endangered are drivers' tempers too - quite narrow and twisty track will create a lot of contacts between cars,so staying cool might be very important to start season with solid points gain!

With 5 days until season start none of the previous AWS champions have signed up for this season (it's known that 2 of them are inactive in league racing),which opens up opportunity for the rest to take over empty place on the champions throne!

Round info:
Track: Fern Bay Rallycross Reversed (FE5R)
Laps: 32 (64km)
Car: RB4
Previous winners: RGˆMatiss (2014), CoRe T.Lähteenmäki (2013), spdoreno (2012)
